A computer-implemented method for producing a multi-layer text, including: providing a text, selecting a value of a text dimension to the text segment, wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer. The method further includes: repeating the specified operations as many times as desired.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A computer-implemented method for producing a multi-layer text, comprising: (a) providing a text; (b) selecting a text segment; (c) assigning a value of a text dimension to said text segment, wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) as many times as desired.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said text dimension is selected from the group that includes time, place, spokesperson and reference.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of displaying said multi-layer text, such that different values of a text dimension are displayed in unique manner.
4. The method according to claim 3 wherein each one of said values is displayed in a different color.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said values are assigned to said text segment using at least one of the following functions: INSERT, END, AUTHOR CORRECTION.
6. A memory medium containing a file that includes a multi-layer text generated according to the method of claim 1 .
7. For use with a multi-layer text, the multi-layer text having text segments assigned with values of text dimensions, wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer; a computer-implemented method for displaying a text of interest, comprising: (a) providing at least one input value, or input value range, of at least one text dimension; and (b) retrieving and displaying text segments having assigned thereto a value that meets said input value or input value range.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said text dimension is selected from the group that includes time, place, spokesperson and reference.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein said retrieval includes displaying a requested value or value range of a text dimension of a text segment.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein said retrieval includes displaying text changes according to different values of the same text dimension.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein said retrieval includes a complete visual display.
12. A system that includes a display unit for producing multi-layer text, comprising: (i) a selector for selecting a text segment in said text; (ii) an assignor for assigning a value of a text dimension to said text segment, wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer; and (iii) a memory for storing the multi-layer text.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein said text dimension is selected from the group that includes time, place, spokesperson, reference.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein said display unit is capable of displaying said multi-layer text, such that different values of a text dimension are displayed in a unique manner.
15. The system according to claim 14 , wherein each one of said values is displayed in a different color.
16. The system of claim 12 , wherein said values are assigned to said text segment using at least one of the following functions: INSERT, END, AUTHOR CORRECTION.
17. For use with a multi-layer text having text segments assigned with values of text dimensions wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer, a system for displaying a text of interest, comprising: i. a receiver for receiving at least one input value or input value range of at least one text dimension; and ii. a retriever for retrieving and displaying text segments having assigned thereto a value that meets said input value or input value range.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein said text dimension is selected from the group that includes time, place, spokesperson and reference.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein said retrieval includes displaying a requested value, or value range of a dimension of a text segment.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein said retrieval includes displaying text changes according different values of the same dimension.
21. The system of claim 17 , wherein said retrieval includes a complete visual display.
